22、2: Sample preparation for determination of moisture content and for general analysis. 3 Principle A known mass of a sample of coal or coke is burnt in a stream of oxygen, in a tube furnace at a temperature of 1350 C. The acid gases formed (chlorine and oxides of sulfur) are absorbed in hydrogen pero

23、xide and subsequently determined titrimetrically. A correction is made to take account of any chlorine liberated and a suitable combustion additive prevents the retention of sulfur in the ash. 4 Reactions 4.1 SO 2+ H 2 O 2 H 2 SO 4 4.2 Cl 2+ H 2 O 2 2HCl + O2 4.3 Na 2 B4O 7+ 2HCl + 5H 2 O 2NaCl + 4H

During the analysis, unless otherwise stated, use only reagen

25、ts of recognized analytical grade and only distilled water or water of equivalent purity. 5.1 Aluminium oxide (alumina), finely divided. 5.2 Hydrogen peroxide, approximately 3% (m/m) neutral solution. Dilute 100 ml of 30% (m/m) hydrogen peroxide solution to 1 litre with water and neutralize with the

26、 sodium tetraborate solution (5.4) using the mixed indicator (5.6). 5.3 Mercury(II) oxycyanide, saturated solution at20C, approximately 45 g/l. Saturate a suitable volume of water with mercury(II) oxycyanide by prolonged agitation; filter and neutralize the filtrate with the sulfuric acid (5.5), usi

Store in a dark bottle. Discard the mixed solution after 1 week. 5.7 Oxygen, laboratory grade, of purity at least99,6%

30、(m/m). 5.8 Sodium hydroxide on an inert base, preferably of a coarse grading, for example 1,2 mm to 1,7 mm, and preferably of the self-indicating type. 6 Apparatus 6.1 Analytical balance, capable of weighing to the nearest 0,1 mg. 6.2 Graduated glassware, conforming to the requirements for class A i

31、n the International Standards prepared by ISO/TC 48, Laboratory glassware and related apparatus. 6.3 Furnace, capable of heating a tube, of approximately 28 mm external diameter over a length of 125 mm to 150 mm, to a temperature of1350 C. The furnace may be heated electrically, using either silicon

32、 carbide resistance rods (controlled by a variable transformer) or a resistance wire (controlled by a variable resistance). 6.4 Combustion tube, of approximately 28 mm external diameter, 3 mm wall thickness and650mm length, made of aluminous porcelain which is impervious to gases up to the working t

33、emperature (see Figure 1). A straight tube is most convenient and may be used in conjunction with an adapter of fused silica having a bell-shaped end, which gives a narrow clearance from the inner wall of the heated tube, and a heat-resistant stopper (acrylonitrile or chloroprene is suitable). Alter

34、natively, the tube may have, a beak end, at the exit, with a tubulure to enable condensation products to be washed out after a test; or a straight tube of aluminous porcelain may be used in conjunction with a borosilicate glass adapter, having a cap-shaped end which fits onto the outer wall of the t

35、ube. In this case it will be necessary to lag the end of the combustion tube with a suitable heat-resistant mineral fibre to prevent condensation in the tube. 6.5 Oxygen cylinder, fitted with a needle valve to control the rate of flow of oxygen (5.7), and a flowmeter to measure up to 300 ml/min. The

36、 oxygen should, as a precautionary measure, be passed through a U-tube packed with sodium hydroxide on an inert base (5.8). 6.6 Combustion boat, of iron-free, unglazed porcelain, of minimum dimensions 45 mm long,12,5mm wide and 10 mm deep, for hard coal and coke samples, and approximately 75 mm long

37、,15 mm wide and 10 mm deep for brown coal and lignite. 6.7 Heat-resistant wire, approximately 2 mm thick and 450 mm long, with a bent end to transfer the used boat from the combustion tube onto a rigid refractory sheet. 6.8 Silica or steel pusher, made from rod or sealed tube, approximately 6 mm in

38、diameter and 450 mm long, with a disc end 12 mm in diameter, for pushing the boat into the hot zone of the combustion tube. The pusher passes loosely through a glass or metal T-piece, one end of which fits into the rubber stopper which closes the inlet end of the combustion tube, the other being sea

39、led by a rubber sleeve (see note1) through which the pusher slides. The sleeve prevents the escape of oxygen, which enters at the stem of the T-piece. The pusher is usually marked from the disc end, for convenience in ascertaining the position of the boat in the combustion tube during pushing. NOTE

40、1The rubber sleeve should be changed periodically to avoid leakage.BS 1016-106.4.2:1996 BSI 11-1998 3 Figure 1 Arrangement of furnace and absorption trainBS 1016-106.4.2:1996 4 BSI 11-1998 6.9 Two absorbers, of capacity about 150 ml, which may be large boiling tubes, wide-necked bottles or Dreschel

41、bottles, each containing a sintered glass disc of 0,015 mm to 0,040 mm maximum pore size in the gas distribution tube. The diameter of the absorber shall be such that the disc is covered to a depth of at least 25 mm by the absorbing solution. Connect the silica adapter, or the reaction tube fitted w

42、ith a tubulure, to the first absorber. Connect this in series with the second absorber. Alternatively, use a single narrow absorber about35mm in diameter and 150 mm deep, so that the bubbler disc (0,015 mm to 0,040 mm maximum pore size) is covered to a depth of at least 90 mm. To avoid leakage at th

43、e rubber sleeve of the inlet end due to the resistance of the sintered glass bubbler, connect the second absorber to a suction-pump through a pressure regulator adjusted to maintain slight suction at the inlet end of the combustion tube. A convenient assembly of the apparatus is illustrated in Figur

44、e 1. 7 Preparation of test sample Prepare the test sample for general analysis in accordance with ISO 1988, ISO 2309 or ISO 5069-2, as appropriate. Ensure that the moisture content of the sample is in equilibrium with the laboratory atmosphere, exposing it, if necessary, in a thin layer for the mini

45、mum time required to achieve equilibrium. Before commencing the determination, thoroughly mix the test sample for at least 1 min, preferably by mechanical means. If the results are to be calculated other than on an “air-dried” basis (see clause 10), after weighing the test portion (see clause 8), de

46、termine the moisture content using a further portion of the test sample by the method described in ISO 331, ISO 687, ISO 1015 or ISO 5068, as appropriate. A further portion should be set aside if the determination of chlorine by the Eschka method (ISO 587) is required. 8 Procedure Raise the temperat

47、ure of the furnace (6.3) to1350C. Weigh, to the nearest 0,1 mg, about0,5g of the test sample (clause 7) and transfer to a combustion boat (6.6), taking care to spread uniformly. Cover evenly with about 0,5 g of the aluminium oxide (5.1). Measure 100 ml of the hydrogen peroxide solution (5.2) and eit

48、her divide this amount between the two absorbers (6.9) or pour it all into the single absorber. Adjust the suction-pump and pressure regulator (see 6.9) so that a rapid stream of air is drawn at constant pressure through the absorber(s). Insert the silica adapter into the combustion tube (6.4) and s

49、ecure the stopper. Adjust the oxygen (5.7) flow to300 ml/min. Insert the charged boat from the inlet end of the combustion tube so that its centre is 240 mm from the centre of the hottest zone and secure the stopper carrying the pusher (6.8) and the oxygen inlet. After1 min, move the boat forward 40 mm. At the end of each of the next five 1 min periods, push the boat forward about 40 mm, pulling back the pusher each time to prevent distortion. After the last push, the boat should be at the centre of the hottest zone
